| It categorises climate by balancing the rainfall, potential evapotranspiration and soil water-holding capacity. |
| Increasing evapotranspiration could mean a net decrease in renewable freshwater supply if precipitation does not also increase. |
| Deforestation also can have regional climatic effects because trees are a key link in the evapotranspiration cycle between soil and the atmosphere. |
| To limit this phenomenon when sunshine, temperature or wind could cause the leaf to dry out, the tree reduces its evapotranspiration. |
| The images they beam back to earth can be used to generate data about land cover, surface temperature, vegetation and evapotranspiration. |
| Water vapour reaches the atmosphere primarily through evapotranspiration from a water source at the earth's surface. |
